Speaking to a crowd at a rally in Henderson, Nevada, Trump
praised his running mate for doing an "incredible" job against
Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton's choice for vice
president.

"So how many of you watched the vice presidential debate last
night?" Trump asked the rally attendees. "Mike Pence did an
incredible job, and I'm getting a lot of credit because that's
really my first so-called choice, my first hire as we would say
in Las Vegas."

"And I'll tell you, he was a good one," the Republican nominee
continued. "He was cool. He was smart. He was, I mean, you just
take a look at him, he was meant to be doing what he was doing,
and we are very, very proud of Gov. Mike Pence. Thank you Mike
Pence."

He added that he'd "argue" Pence had the "single most decisive
victory in the history of vice presidential debates."

"I believe that," Trump said. "And last night, America also got
to look firsthand at my judgment, and that was judgment. You
know, you need judgment for people, for deals."

Kaine was criticized by many on both the right and left for his
frequent interruptions of both Pence and debate moderator
Elaine Quijano during the event, and Pence hit him for "pre-done"
lines after Kaine
made a comment about wanting "a 'you're hired' president in
Hillary Clinton" over a "'you're fired' president" in Trump.

Clinton's running mate
repeatedly brought up Trump's refusal to release his tax
returns, while Pence denied a number of controversial statements
Trump made in the past.
